Hey all - I just rooted my EVO 4G - flashed cyanogenmod 7 which works, but now I need to know how to do some major customizations and also if possible how to make visual voicemail work. Please remember I am VERY new to this....
Any and all help will be appreciated.
Newbie,
Your best bet would be to pick one of the many ROMs available and flash that onto your phone. I'm not sure how that's done on your particular phone (I know how on the Epic 4G ). There are lots of stuff here:

As far as Visual Voice Mail goes, I would (and am) use Google Voice. They will send you a text and email transcript of your Voicemail (how cool is that?), not to mention, your Sprint number will become your Google voice number, allowing you to make really cheap international calls.
I hope that this helps.
explore this forum you'll find great info. and ^^ what he said

My apologies if this is a dumb question but:
I've loaded WM6 BE using the ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT instructions littered all over this site (I can't even begin to thank all those involved enough for the work and dedication that has gone into all this). I've put the 2.19 T-Mo UK Radio Rom on (strangely this gave me the best reception of all that I tried and, of course, no missed calls).
Now, when I get a voicemail and you get the little "tape" voicemail indicator, clicking on this does precisely nothing. I thought it was simply that I hadn't gone into VM services and got the VM number but I've done this and nothing changes. This must be a Cingular configuration that I'm missing and it's probably simple.....ideas?
Secondly a warning - from bitter experience. Others have noted how SpbTime does not work with WM6. Well, "not work" is an understatement. Mine crashed so badly that a cold boot was necessary - while driving 200Miles to Oklahoma City! So - be warned!
And, finally, what's the best, most effective, fairest way that I can make a little contribution to the efforts on this site? Of course i could give to certain individuals but many, many people have been involved in making my upgrade a success and I would like to show appreciation, but..to whom?
Andy.
Right now I'm not using voice mail, so I can't help you there. Also, it might be better for us to keep posts regarding my ROM in that thread in order to keep the board clean. Not complaining as such, but just trying to keep within the spirit of the board rules.
That being said, you came, you read, you flashed! What more can we ask for?
Hope you enjoy it.
Sorry just made a post in the tread for Core 2.0 (the rom that I have)...
I followed the EXCELLENT instructions, took all the precautions, and get no Voicemail indicator at all! I'm on Cingular as well. If anyone has any suggestions, other than going back to a factory ROM, I'd love to hear them.

Use CallWave instead of Cingular's voicemail. It's free and in my opinion its better. Instead of using the VM indicator with just the number of voicemails you have, you get a text message with details about each voicemail. I was a little hesitant at first but now I think its great. You can do everything via their web pages, but there's a nice little app that you can install on your PC that gives you some nice features.
I really need massive help. Obviously I am brand new to this forum and have absolutely NO idea what the jargon or codes mean in these threads. Overclocking? Rebooting into recovery? SU? Kernal version requirements? I am merely a car guy and will gladly assist in ANY and all car questions. This is what I would like to accomplish. Root the phone to delete the useless programs that are just taking up space. Namely, Amazon MP3, Facebook (don't even have an account), Goggles, Google Search, Latitude,Talk, Twitter, Voice Dialer and finally Voice Search. I figure I don't need many of these since when I do actually use most of those Voice type programs Vlingo is used. Am I wrong to delete so much? A ROM is basically the screen design layout and buttons correct? I am needing set by step (Barney style) instructions on how to accomplish what I would like to do. I currently have a Droid 1 with version 2.2.1; Build FRG83D; Kernel 2.6.32.9-g68eeef5 . If that makes any sense or helps in my quest great, if not please let me know what else is needed. I have Windows XP if that matters as well. So like I said, if you have car issues or just want a little more performance or gas mileage I can help. I'm partial to domestics, Chevy especially, but can definately assist with them all. Thanks in advance all!

Good luck,
Though it's not a new thing, I was very surprised that nobody have or made such an application. There are several topics on XDA related to this subject, in none there is given an answer or solution.
What I am talking about? I am talking about the display of an indicator (graphic and/or text) to show if an incomming call is diverted from another number (say you have one number that is diverted on your actual one and someone is calling the first one) or if you call somebody and your call is "waiting" cause the other party is already in a call (and has call waiting function active on his phone).
These are two things that are present in most Nokia phones, some Samsung or LG have it and also some Sony Ericsson. But I never saw it on an Android phone (maybe the Samsung owners have it, I don't know)
Is there so hard to make such an application for Android? I'm sure alot of us needs it and will even pay for it (I will). There was something created for WinMo devices called O2 Plus V2.3 that offered this functionality, I can hardly believe there's noone that can make something similar for Android. I've created a similar topic in the Legend subforum but...nothing.
This can help alot for ex if you have two numbers, a business and a personal one, and after working hours you're closing the business phone and divert it to your personal number. In case someone is calling, it's good to know if it was calling on your personal number or maybe on your business one....and there are many samples like this.
If the guys made it for WinMo devices (PPC) I'm sure it can be made for Android as well.

Hope to hear something positive on this...
OK. So I've partially solved the issues. Or should I say it was solved by itself.
Doing some tests today, I saw that THERE IS an diverted call notification on my phone.
It's not included in the Android itself, nor in the dialer but I found that is showing when I receive a call made to one of my diverted numbers.
I think it is MIUI related, it is the only ROM on which this was happening. I've tested with CM7.1 right now and regardless of which number I call (the "active" one or the "diverted" one), the incoming call display looks the same. For MIUI though, things are different, there is an "Forward incoming call(s)" row below the displayed number.
I've made several tests and for sure it is indicating when you are called directly or on another number that is diverted on your number. I also attached two print screens for the normal call and the diverted one.
Maybe some other MIUI owners can confirm this, but till now no other ROMs are offering this (as far as I know) and this will make happy alot of people. Still there's no notification in case you are calling someone and you are "waiting" but that was not as important as this one.
you might want to ask a MOd to close the thread as its already solved.

Hello Friends,
I have recently installed new Android 4.1 on my HTC Desire Z and wished that simple issue had been finally added to the software. But I was wrong...
Maybe any of you know how to customize Calling In (and maybe Call out) screen to see other contact info if exist like. Company name, address, work title etc.
Most of us does not have only Name and Phone Number in Contacts. I have more that 2000 contacts and many of them are same name like John from Company A and John from Company B. Unfortunately when they are calling I see only Name and Phone number (and picture where normally I do not have )
Please if there is any customization possibility to see more contact info when calling please help to solve it.
I had similar requirement.
I zeroed on DW Contacts Pro. Has what you require and much more.
Its available on play store just search.

Free version looks promising however little overloaded with functions and possibilities. The Free version made my phone hand few times.
Thx for hint, I will try Paid version also.

Why is there no alternatives to this?
Let me expand on my question. Google has made so many different things on Android and XDA and devs and ordinary people have made some incredible mods as well as normal non-rooted people have made some really useful apps available to all. Then why hasn't someone created a call screener you can just install to your rooted phone. Have a set of numbers it doesn't screen, then screen all others and just give you live transcripts of what they say?
I'm by no means an expert, just a curious person
